Show Klondike Endure Great Suffering. Reduced to starvation in the Arctic wilderness in the Yukon region, Victor Virgil Ixiwry and John Bevins of Dawson ma'ntalned their lives on dog and porcupine flesh. The story of the suffering and hardship of the men has just reached Dawson by mail. The two men were en route from Dawson to the Koyukuk diggings. They left Dawson October 10. The fifth day after being lost their food became exhausted. The men were In desperate straits. They had no gun with which to shoot game, and not a living soul nor a place of refuge was known to be within hundreds of miles. In their desperation they could not parley over the proprieties of nicety. Lowrys faithful dog, his companion for three years, was the only available source of food. The dog was killed and eaten. But the fleBh from the animal did not last long. The two enervated men traveled two days more without a mouthful of food, when they came upon a young porcupine. This they ran down and clubbed to death and devoured partly roasted. Twenty days after they had started out the men wandered into a wood choppers camp on the Yukon, almost dead. After a few days they were nourished sufficiently to travel. Two Men In the ?g. T.MKEMl(,Nmtf. STOCKTON, TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS SOUTH SEA ISLANDS LIVED ON DOG MEAT. THE STOCKTON SENTINEL UTAH.
